...sadly, it doesn't hold up. I'm finding a lot of films during this era don't. What was considered a bold movie about a young, rebellious man when it was released, for example, I find The Graduate is now just a nasty movie about nasty people; Bonnie and Clyde was an important film when it was released, but now, I can't get past Estelle Parson's whiney performance (which won her an Oscar!!) This is another. Although they were too old for the roles, Jameson Parker, Brad Davis and Karen Allen made a marvelous trio and a lot of fine actors made their first film appearances here. I just didn't find it the compelling movie I did when I saw it 40 years ago!
